Exactly right. If you had a 64 bit app, then we would need to have 64 bit user-mode libraries available.
As for the API, I'm not sure... I suspect for the short run 32-bit would work as we have a 32-bit app. But if I understand the distinction right, in the near future we'd need a 64-bit one (when we ported our actual application to 64-bit.) Am I making the right distinction on what API would be needed or is there some other deciding factor?

Unless demand increases, we will likely have 64 bit Linux drivers when you can actually put more than 4 GB of RAM in a desktop class machine (currently you have to buy a workstation or better to get a motherboard that even supports more than 4 GB), and/or 64 bit Operating Systems become the standard.
